i'm going to say something brave and controversial: I don't think Booth and Bones, Castle and Becket, Jane and Lisbon, or any similar bickering TV pairings are trying to recapture the Mulder and Scully format or magic at all. Mulder-and-Scully are an outlier in the television pairing landscape. They fell and love and were ride or die for each other immediately. They didn't agree on various external subjects but they never had to 'learn to tolerate each other,' and never thought the other one was stupid and backward, they eagerly tossed out any interpersonal boundaries within days of knowing each other and were ready to fight anyone who didn't take the other one seriously. They're both quite insane, and they're both serious, and neither one is the "every-man" jokester anti-intellectual. (They're actually both pro-intellectual to the point of absurdity and intellectualizing themselves out of action lol)

What Bones and Castle (etc) were doing were trying to recapture the Moonlighting magic, and the Cheers magic, and using the David and Maddie, Sam and Diane template of "the highly strung serious one" and "the lovable idiot" arguing their way into slowly, over the years, falling in love and respecting each other's viewpoint instead of just subsisting off of physical chemistry, to meet in the middle, usually with the 'serious' one loosening up, and the 'lovable jokester' settling down (but not so much that you don't still realize that his every-man viewpoint was mostly 'right all along').

This is not to say that I don't love B/B, Caskett, David and Maddie, Sam and Diane, et al. I do love them and grew up on these shows, probably even more so than MSR and The X Files. I find the thread of anti-intellectualism in some of them (especially heavy in Sam and Diane of Cheers) tiresome at times, but it is a classic, and it's also often subverted, such as with Castle's jack of all trades type of knowledge base. I just don't think any of these are the same as what The X Files did, and weren't even attempting to be the same, they were referencing a different set of cultural phenomena entirely.

(nor was the X Files trying to be 'like Moonlighting' while trying to avoid the curse, Carter has actually said he was largely inspired by Kolchek, and by the dynamic of Steed and Peel in The Avengers (UK) both of which are in a pretty different direction entirely.)

Orange Peel Theory

Masterlist

While scrolling through TikTok on your bed, you came across a video of a woman asking her boyfriend for an orange, seeing if he would peel it or not.

Looking over at Simon next to you, who is currently focused on something on his laptop, you decide to try it too.

“Simoooon?” you try to get his attention, drawing out his name, making your voice whinier.

“Hm?” he raises an eyebrow, still engrossed in his laptop.

“I want an orange…” you said, giving him your best puppy dog eyes.

“We have some in the kitchen.” he takes a glance at you, trying to figure out your intentions.

“But I don't wanna peel it…” you whine, leaning against his arm and nuzzling against it.

He puts his pointer finger and thumb under your chin, tilitng your head up, “I'll peel it, I'll cut it, saute it, cook it. I'll do anything for ya.” he looks directly into your eyes with the softest look you've ever seen on his face.

He lets you go, but before he can get off the bed, you cling onto him, burying your face in his chest while grabbing onto his closest arm.

“I didn't actually want an orange… Just wanted to see what your response would be to me asking.” you mumble against him.

“Oh yeah?” he puts aside his laptop and pulls you on his lap. “Is this a test or something?”

“I just saw other girls doing this online, so I also wanted to do it with you.” you reply, looking up at him.

“And did I pass?” he whispers in your ear, squeezing you slightly. You giggle and wrap your arms around his neck, linking your hands together.

“Well… I don't see a peeled, cut, sauteed, cooked orange anywhere.” you tease.

“You cheeky little…” he kisses you, cutting himself off.

It’s in the mess hall one unassuming morning that Soap discovers what might possibly be the worst form of torture known to man.

Man, of course, meaning Soap and Soap alone.

It starts with deft fingers digging into the thick skin of an orange, the underside of neat fingernails turning yellow with pulp as they push into the outermost layer of the fruit.

It continues with slow, deliberate peeling; with discarding the rind on an emptied plate in equal pieces; with being hardly mindful of the juice that soaks calloused fingertips when thumbs press too hard into the orange's flesh.

Soap feels his entire body tense as the fruit is sectioned and set in a pile, frozen as Ghost lifts a hand to his mouth, presses a thumb to his lips and swipes a tongue over the sticky, citrusy mess that had been left behind.

The sergeant swallows thickly as Ghost then takes a first slice and bites into it, more juice spilling onto thin, pink lips. A tongue darts out to catch the droplets; a low, nearly undetectable hum rumbles out of Ghost's throat.

Soap is squirming the entire time Ghost eats. His skin crawls. A shiver creeps up his spine. Ghost enjoys, almost too much, like it's the best orange he's ever had the pleasure of tasting.

Briefly, fleeting, Soap has a thought of how the citrus may taste from Ghost's exposed lips, rather than from the seemingly delectable fruit itself.

It ends when Ghost finally, mercifully finishes the final part of his breakfast. He uses a napkin to clean his mouth this time before rolling his mask back under his chin, pushing away from the table and standing with his tray.

Soap watches him walk away. Watches him toss the orange skin into the bin, and continue on with whatever else his morning routine consisted of.

The sergeant slumps in his seat once Ghost is out of sight, heaving a long and deep sigh to relieve the pent up pressure in his chest from the longest five minutes of his life. He scrubs at his face, begging the heat in his cheeks to dissipate before he's meant to get up and start on with his own day.

If it'd even be possible, after something like that.

Horror movie 141 headcanons

Price: can handle anything. On the rare occasion he gets jump scared he just grumbles and gets embarrassed that he got caught off guard.

Ghost: doesn’t really join them to watch horror movies. He can get uncomfortable with the imagery and sound effects but it depends on the movie itself. He’s more in tuned with comedy/horror movies and never gets jumpscared.

Soap: only watches horror movies when Gaz invites him to. Jumps semi-occasionally but he’s the type to talk during the movie and piss everyone off. If there’s guns in the movie, he’s definitely going to complain about how inaccurate it is.

Gaz: horror movie veteran. The one who invites everyone to come together and watch it. Same as Soap, gets jumped semi-occasionally. He loves the thrill of watching a horror movie, especially psychological horror. When the timing lines up just right and all of 141 is able to watch together is when he enjoys it the most.

A selection of my favourite DW things I got to do in the past year(ish) to celebrate Doctor Who Day:

Time Controller in Hammersmith 04.11.23

- Remembrance of the Daleks event in the actual school used in the story. Being in the actual classroom, watching Sophie dressed as Ace, recreate how she beat up the Dalek is a memory I'll hold dear forever I think.

Whooverville in Derby 31.08.24

Dragonfire Day at Riverside Studios 08.09.24

- We watched the entire story & heard talks from most of the cast. Dragonfire is my favourite DW story, this was so special to me

The Stuff of Legend - Big Finish Live 15.09.24

Set To Stun exhibition in Gunnersbury 28.05.24

- Exhibition about the making of sci-fi shows & films in West London

Blink Twice (15): Absolute power corrupts... absolutely in this "Me Too" thriller.

#onemannsmovies #filmreview of "Blink Twice". #BlinkTwice. Zoë Kravitz's directorial debut hits it out of the park. Chilling and suspenseful. 4/5.

A One Mann’s Movies review of “Blink Twice” (2024). When I saw the trailer of Zoë Kravitz’s “Blink Twice” I was immediately reminded of Mark Mylod’s 2022 comedy/horror “The Menu“. In that film, Ralph Fiennes plays Chef Slowik: a rich and pretentious chef who invites rich twats to his exclusive island to enjoy fine dining with a twist. I wasn’t wrong about that. But there is also a good dose of…

Since “Wonder Man” is centered on an actor-turned-superhero, for the upcoming show, I have a few ideas:

1) Behind-the-scenes of a biopic centered on Scott Lang. Paul Rudd appears as himself and the running gag is that people are convinced he’s just Scott Lang pretending to be Paul. The payoff is that Scott actually appears at the end of the episode and thanks Paul for playing him.

2) Wonder Man decides to write the script for a Hawkeye biopic. However, since Clint Barton doesn’t want his family to be named in the movie, the names are changed in the script. Much to Clint’s dismay, Wonder Man rewrites the script so that Lila Barton is renamed to “Kate Barton”, which is just a coincidence but gets a good reaction from both Clint and Kate Bishop.

3) Revealed that Jean-Claude Van Damme starred in a Captain America period drama/biopic that was made in the 1990s. The movie was criticized for casting JCVD since it didn’t make sense that New Yorker Steve Rogers had a thick, Belgian accent.

4) Instead of the superhero genre dominating entertainment, it’s something else. Maybe in the MCU, they have the SMCU (Supernatural Monsters Cinematic Universe).

5) Wonder Man is cast in an indie comedy film starring Nathan Fielder. The episode plays out like an episode of “Nathan For You”.

6) Jordan Peele makes a guest appearance as himself. He wants to make a horror film starring Wonder Man, but doesn’t know what the plot will be. He then becomes inspired to make a slasher film after reading about the “Ronin massacre”.
